Voldemort: You've got to mean it, Harry.Kingsley Shacklebolt: You may not like him, Minister, but you can't deny: Dumbledore's got style.For neither can live while the other s-survives. and the Dark Lord shall mark him as his equal but he shall have power the Dark Lord knows not. Sybill Trelawney: The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches.And we'd all best be ready when she does. Rubeus Hagrid: It’s changin’ out there.Think of it this way every great wizard in history has started out as nothing more than what we are now: students. But there is something that matters even more, believing in yourself. The seven books allow children to grow up with Harry. More adult themes emerge in the later books and some of the battles and tales of dark magic can be frightening so we say that the Harry Potter reading level starts at age 8 but the later books are perhaps age 10+. Whilst the films are firm family favourites, needless to say they cannot live up to the enchanting books. Potterheads can find out what house they are in, what their Patronus is, visit Platform 9¾ and even play Quidditch. Since then, Pottermania has shown no signs of abating: you can find Harry Potter Lego, toys, video games, a Harry Potter theme park, a successful stage play ( H arry Potter and the Cursed Child ) and more. In 2001, the books were catapulted to an even wider audience with the release of the Hollywood film of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The films launched the careers of Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, Emma Watson as Hermione and even Robert Pattinson as Cedric Diggory. The books are widely credited with changing the landscape of children’s fiction and have won multiple prizes including the Nestlé Smarties Prize and the British Book Award. Author JK Rowling wrote the books over seven years in various cafés in Edinburgh as she struggled to make ends meet as a single mum, never dreaming that Harry Potter would become one of the best-known book characters ever written. The first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone ( Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in the USA) was published in 1997 and, since then, the seven-book-series has gone on to break all kinds of records, selling over 500 million copies worldwide. The fact that Harry and his friends are casting spells and fighting evil against the backdrop of normal school life, whilst dodging teachers, doing homework and navigating friendships, conflicts and even romance, makes them all the more thrilling. These adventures are just part of the books’ appeal. Harry is pitched into many hair-raising adventures, but the friends’ courage, loyalty and curiosity mean they triumph time and again. However, Harry cannot escape his tragic past: as “the Boy Who Lived” his destiny is tied to that of the evil Lord Voldemort (or “You Know Who”). The boy wizard meets his first real friends on the Hogwart’s Express - serious but kind Hermione Granger and fun and fiery-haired Ron Weasley - and feels like he has come home at last. Harry enters the magical world via the legendary platform 9 ¾ at King’s Cross station and never looks back. The shocking news that Harry is a wizard is the start of an exciting adventure to meet his destiny. But on Harry’s eleventh birthday, any illusion of normality is rudely shattered when half-giant Rubeus Hagrid bursts into the house to deliver Harry a letter from Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After all, his bedroom is the cupboard under the stairs, his cousin Dudley is a moron and his aunt and uncle treat him as an inconvenience. Harry Potter’s life with the “perfectly normal” Dursleys at Number 4 Privet Drive leaves a lot to be desired. Stage Play Script: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (2016)
